UConn Policy
Below is an excerpt from the Student Code policy
authored by the Dean of Students Office, last reviewed on 11/23/04. This policy
outlines possible sanctions to be imposed in cases of plagiarism or other academic
dishonesty:
"When
an instructor believes there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate a clear
case of academic misconduct within a particular course . . . the instructor
shall impose the appropriate academic consequences warranted
by the circumstances. The
appropriate academic consequence for serious offenses is generally considered
to be failure in the course. For
less serious offenses regarding small portions of the course work, failure
for that portion is suggested, with the requirement that the student repeat
the work satisfactorily for no credit."
